Matt: Placement year doing contract work (primarily analysis / design and rollout management). I'm not sure what I want to do when I graduate hence placement year. > Anyone who is currently on a degree course is of course going to say > that it's the best way forward, as alternately anyone who hasn't got > one is going to say it doesn't matter... Likewise anyone who isnt on one is going to say how pointless they are ... cyclic argument. But look at the facts: 1) Graduates make more money (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6999510.stm) 2) You move up the management chain more quickly (virtually every company has a grad scheme) 3) You open your oppertunities massively If you have the opportunity, you really should go. You could go do llama farming in Peru when you graduate: you might as well get a degree before you do! I really do not understand why there is so much opposition to what I am saying. I am not criticising people without degrees, i'm advising Jai that if he wants the best opportunities you need to get a good degree from a good university. Yes, you can get into the industry without one, but for the reasons mentioned above it is well worth going for it. -- Matthew G Larsen > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
